All over the map.

That is what I am. All over the map.

The emotional roller coaster is in full effect with D-Day looming, nee breathing down our necks. One minute I am fine, the next I am fighting to hold back tears. One minute I am laughing and living up every last minute to the fullest, the next I can't stop the tears and they begin rolling down big, fat trails across my face. I know I blogged about this before... only now it is on steroids.

I know there is no rhyme or reason to this. I know there is no norm... nor is there a right or wrong. But I wish I could get a grip. Anyway, we are getting closer to being able to count down and get this par-tay started. So, wish us luck, wish me a wee bit of grace, and wish for Swiss a safe journey and safer tour.

Please give J's and my good wishes to Swiss! We'll be thinking of him.

And for you: try not to hang any expectations on yourself so far as how you'll cope or how you'll feel. There is no "normal". Just try to take a lot of deep breaths and get through this in whatever way works for you.

All I can say is welcome to the life of a milspouse. What you are going through is completely NORMAL - we all feel like this around deployments. Just hang in there and take care of yourself. Prayers for a safe deployment and return for Swiss.
